To The Girls Who Basically Post Nudes, Good For You, But I Will Never Flaunt My Body Like That

Over the summer I have seen SO many photos of women and young women posting photos that are practically nudes all over social media.

One of the trends I hated the most was the one where the girls are sitting or kneeling with their bikini bottoms raised so high over their hips to show off their butts. I just don't need to see that. I don't care if you're wearing a bikini in public, that's whatever, but don't be posting booty pics.

Now I do consider myself a feminist, but I do not agree with this idea of women prancing around naked.

Sure, guys should control themselves and not feel the urge to want to have sex with you just because they see you naked, but I want men to respect me, for me. I have a lot to offer the world that of which does not include my body.

My body is only for my boyfriend to see.

He doesn't own me, I am not his property. I can do whatever I want. But I have respect for our relationship to not go showing off my body to other men because they might want to have sex. Now, why would I want to insight those urges in someone, when I am clearly not available for that? In addition, my boyfriend doesn't even use social media that often, so if I wanted him to see me looking sexy in a photo, I would just send it to him.

This generation is so obsessed with making everything public, but you don't have to make everything public. Some things can stay private. A revealing photo is something that should stay private because it can be such an intimate thing.

I'm not trying to bash anyone for posting their photos.

If you are generally so confident in your body, that is great! I'm glad for you. But do you have to pose half naked in order to prove that you're confident in your body? I just want you all to ask yourself if that is how you know you're confident.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
